...and then I felt a splash and looked down at my pint to see that swollen drops of condensed scobe sweat were lashing into it from the ceiling. Underworld were really old school, with plenty of lo-fi druggy visuals for the teeth grinders. Karl Hyde was doing his usual demented shaman impression, playing guitar and barking a salad of words into the mike. A particular stand out was 'two months off' which was souped up into a ten minute Balearic wig-out with huge inflatable columns flopping all over the stage. Here's a clip of it without the inflatables.
I'm also throwing in an MP3 of their new single crocodile. I wouldn't say its a mad return to form or anything. Its a bit of a mongy 90s throwback. They played it last night with visuals of sunlight slowly breaking through marijuana plant leaves, shot in that olbligatory washed out purple colour you might recognise from such druggy turn of the 90s videos as fool's gold and anything by my bloody valentine. They're about as innovative as Status Quo at this stage, but they're a good laugh live.
